"US 2004 Elections Surprise ?"

http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/ 0,,30000-12752414,00.html

Hilary Clinton possibly going to enter the race for the 2004 elections ? I have a feeling she will, and I have a feeling she 'could' win if she does. If Sky's report is accurate , then a 37-48% rating with Democrats is good, 'cause once the candidates are narrowed down then that can only increase.

It'd certainly be interesting to see what a woman in charge of the USA would be like, and her only real (hopefully) skeleton in the closet has already been aired when her husband fell from office.

Despite Clinton's faults, he wasn't a bad man and, as Goat Boy made reference to in another post, it was certainly a better time for the USA and the world when he was in power. The Monica Lewinsky thing was stupid, because when you see the amount of money used by Republicans to unearth it then you see that very few people on the planet could stand up to that much scrutiny and come out clean.

If she runs for it, then I'd *possibly* be hoping she wins.

It depends what happens over the next year. I wouldn't count Bush out yet.

If Hilary runs I think she will be the favourite though.

Minor point, Clinton never "fell" from office. He served his 2 terms and had to go. He was a good president, but not legendary.

Of course the big qustion is, will Bill become the First Lady?

If she runs, she'll win. That's my prediction. And I reckon she'll do a good job as well.

Apparently - and this is only from what I've read online - her advisors reckon that 2004 is the best chance there is to get a Democrat into the White House, and seeing as she has the highest popularity rating amongst Democrats she's the obvious contender.

Well one of the two films had the wierdest sex scene...
Was that Halle Berry, playing Keanu's half-sister?

Me too seeing that's what she said on the Letterman show a month or so back. Looks like she's got that lying thing down as good as her husband :D

Nah, they could just give him a pretzel and let nature take it's course.

if hilary clinton becomes prez, do we get to watch george doubya publicly throttled at madison square gardens, with large painsticks?

I thought she was going to wait for 2008 as well

Well all the signs are that she'll go for it in 2004.

Al Pacino is part of a demonic law firm in "The Devil's Advocate", if that helps, which it doesn't.

I assumed Hillary Clinton would wait till 2008 to run, to put enough distance between her and Bill's leadership. It was obvious that she ran for New York Senate seat as a stepping stone to running for President, just seems sensible to wait longer, methinks.
